Xiang Panzhou

Xiang Panzhou (died 1643) was a Chinese Buddhist monk, medician, and a companion of the Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty. He helped in the education of the young five-year-old emperor upon his coronation in 1643.

Biography
Xiang Panzhou was a Buddhist monk who studied medicine early in his life, but later, he was recruited by the Templar Order, who wanted to make use of his skills with medicine and with his lifestyle as a monk. In 1642, they assigned him to end an epidemic that swept the Grand Canal of China, and in 1643, he was made the teacher of the young Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty; the Manchu were Templar puppets, so he was easily inserted. Now that he was in a high role, Panzhou was effectively regent of the Qing Dynasty. He blinded the young emperor with rhetoric about the grand cause of the Templars, and his influence dangerously impacted him.

Assassin Ma Jianguo set out to stop Panzhou's influence over the child emperor, which would resume the Manchu's submission to the Templars. Jianguo shot a blowdart at him while he was walking with the young emperor in Harbin around the palace, slowly killing him. His death appeared natural, and nobody suspected that he was assassinated. Now, the emperor had a chance of seeing the light when he grew older.
